This is a randomized controlled clinical trial of 148 suicidal active-duty US Army Soldiers. Participants were randomized to on-site providers who were trained in the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) vs. providers doing their own routine care--referred to as Enhanced Care as Usual (E-CAU) --within an outpatient military treatment facility. The CAMS Rating Scale (CRS) was used to reliably verify fidelity between treatment conditions and the adherence by CAMS providers to the model. Participants received informed consent to be randomly assigned to treatment arm and were ask to complete study assessments at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the start of treatment. Recruitment is complete and all study assessments were completed as of March 2016. Links to the outcome data analyses and moderator analyses are listed below.
